In Japanese, 'Sarinagara' means 'and yet'. This word is the last word of one of the most famous poems of Japanese literature. When he writes it, Kobayashi Issa has just lost his only child: yes, all is emptiness. But Issa mysteriously adds this last word to his poem, leaving its meaning in suspense. This enigma is the theme of a narrative that brings together the stories of three Japanese artists across the centuries: Issa, the last great Haiku master of the 18th century, Natsume Soseki, inventor of the Japanese modern novel at the end of the 19th century, and Yamahata Yosuke, who was the first photographer to take pictures of the victims and ruins of Nagasaki in August 1945. These three 'dreamed lives' make the substance of a narrative that takes the reader from Paris to Kyoto and from Tokyo to Kobe, and asks the question of how anyone can hope to survive the most heartbreaking experience. 'Surviving is both the test and the enigma'. Following the death of his young daughter, the narrator moves to Japan with the project of writing an essay on Japanese literature. There, on the other side of the earth, he experiences a series of incidents that connect him to a recurrent childhood dream and allow him to explore the depth of his own grief through the stories of others. "Sarinagara" is a poignant meditation on the nature of grief, art, and memory.

干净简单风格的书一向是我的偏爱。 深夜里孤身走在街道上不归家的孩子,穿过时间,记忆,回到你的身边,你却再也不能把他认出,那是你,或是你的孩子。 离开,却已成定局。未失去和失而复得怎么样也是不同的。 从他人的大悲里化解自己的相对而言的小悲。那些可怜的人们在一...
评分之前与之后,我看过,看得不知所措,不知所想,在沉浸了许久之后,意识才慢慢得浮现,它早已渗透在我的每一寸思想里,只是浓厚得化不开。 看过了,许多其他的文字就再也难以入眼 看过了,许多回忆又再一次漂浮在他人的故事之上,那是我的,又不属于我。 每一次阅读,都安静得像...
评分这本书对于菲利浦.福雷来说意味着一个终结,是对一段最深刻的记忆的埋葬,在遗忘的中心。在最后一章作者的阐述里,或者只是只字片语的选择,我以为读到了这些。然而…… 从小林一茶开始,巴黎到京都的跨度,由当下延续不断的梦境一直下坠,沉潜到两个世纪之前。一个俳句诗人的...
